The Govern- ment of Peking was naturally anxious to explait any source of revenue' which would help is to prolong its precarious existence; but he trusted there was stilt enough public opinion left in China to resist a relapse which would stigmatise the Chinese for all time as an opium-ridden race. If China were not dead to all sense, of self-respect the merran- tile classes and those valuing the reputation of their country would rise up and let the Peking Government know that it did not represent the best opinion of the country.

BRITAIN'S DEBT TO AMERICA.

London, Jan. 27. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, P.C., M.P., has arrived from New York. Interviewed at Southampten on his arrival, he emphasised tha the great Anglo-American difference as regards the debt was that a settlement rested with the politicians in America where the Executive had to force the matter through Congress. He pointed out that the bulk of the American people were agricultural, not urban, and were ignorant of international trade. Mary thought that all Britain had to do was to send over bags of gold. He said it was impossible for him to return to America as he had his own work at Home. Valess an agreement was reached and ratified by Congress before the 4th of March the matter would be deferred till the next meeting of Congres in December. The present terms were impossible because they meant that we would continue to pay approximately six per cent, which was an intolerable strain. What America offered at the recent Commission. represented an immense advance in American opinion. Any change of tha: opinion would not be in our favour because the debt had get on. the nerves of the American people and cancellation was impossible. Mr. Baldwin refused to speak of the budget beyond saying that its terms would entirely depend on whether a settlement with America is effected.

The approaching close of the Conference, after over two months lateurs, finds the Alles and Turks completely at loggerheads on number of important matters on almost every question discussed. To-dur's sittings of the various commissions showed no semblance of agreement. The Turks objected to claims for damage, on principle, and refused to pay any reparations whatever. On the contrary they demanded reparations for certain ships taken over by the Allied coun- Stewart Bod tries in 1914: likewise the return of Turkish gold handed to the Allies
